Monday, February 18, 1907...The Evening Mail, Halifax, N.S. DIED ………DELLA TORRE – Suddenly, on the 16th inst, Arthur M., only son of William and Mary A. Della Torre, in the 29th year of his age. Funeral from his father’s residence, 126 Cunrad Street, on Tuesday, at 2.30 p.m. (Boston and St. John papers please copy) - Monday, February 18, 1907...The Evening Mail, Halifax, N.S. Skated To His Death On Dartmouth Lake Arthur M. Della Torre Fell Through a Danger Place on Saturday Afternoon and it Was Not Possible to Save Him. - Bert Stevens Made a Gallant Attempt and Almost Lost His Own Life. A profound impression was created in Halifax Saturday when it became known that Arthur M. Della Torre, only son of William Della Torre, proprietor of the London Rubber Stamp company, had met his death by drowning in the Dartmouth Lake. Young Della Torre, who resided with his parents at 126 Cunard street, and who was employed with his father had Saturday afternoon off from work. After dinner he got his skates and informed his parents that he intended spending the afternoon on the Dartmouth Lakes. He came down town and crossed the harbor on the half-past one ferry. On his arrival in Dartmouth, he walked up to the first lake, put on his skates, leaving his boots and overcoat in the little house on the western side, and struck out for the opposite shore. He skated around the lower end of the lake for more than an hour, and then started up towards the second lake, and succeeded in getting as far as Chittick’s ice house. Directly opposite the house is a deep channel, surrounding which is a large quanity of ice which had been cut out a few days before. This part of the lake had frozen over but was not considered safe and danger posts had been driven in the ice to warn skaters. The young man apparently did not notice them, or was going so fast that he could not check himself, and went halfway across the thin ice and had almost reached the open channel when the ice gave way and he was precipitated into the icy waters. Hundreds rushed to the young man’s assistance but as soon as they ventured near the thin ice they saw their great danger and were forced to return. Bert Stevens, Dartmouth, at the risk of his own life, started out over the thin ice to save the quickly drowning man, who was making desperate efforts to save himself. Stevens only succeeded in getting a few yards when the ice gave way and he was also in the water and it was with great difficulty that he was rescued. A ladder was shoved out across the ice, but young Della Torre had lost control of his limbs and soon disappeared. A boat in which were Charles MacDonald and other icemen, put out, and after grappling for nearly half an hour the body was brought to the surface. Drs. Edgar and Smith were on hand and worked for half and hour but life was extinct. Funeral Director Snow was telephoned for and prepared the body for interment. The deceased, who was twenty-nine years of age, was a young man of sterling qualities, and enjoyed the high esteem of all who came in contact with him. He was a member of St. Patrick’s church and took a deep interest in all church work. He leaves a father, mother and four sisters, who have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. The funeral takes place from his father’s residence tomorrow afternoon. - Tuesday, February 19, 1907...The Evening Mail, Halifax, N.S. The Late A. M. DELLA TORRE The funeral of Arthur M. Della Torre took place this afternoon from the residence of his father, William Della Torre, 126 Cunard street, and thence to St. Agnes church, the Rev. Father Hayes officiating and the interment being in Mount Olivet cemetery. In spite of the intense cold the cortege was a very long one. Indeed the circumstances in connection with Mr. Della Torre's sudden death by drowning have been such as to profoundly touch all familiar with them. An only son, he was a young man who fulfilled the best hopes of his parents, his character and tastes being of the most sterling and wholesome kind. Associated with his father in business, he had become the latters' "right hand" and the since of loss, therefore, in the immediate family circle may well be imagined. However the since of loss and the sorrow is not restricted to the home. Mr. Della Torre was universally popular and the news of his distress by sudden death was received by his hosts of friends as that of the best comrades. Ever since the announcement in the newspapers of Monday, expressions of sympathy have been coming in – letters, telegrams, personal condolences, flowers, memorial cards. The final offerings were as follows: Cross – Mother and father. Wreath – Mrs. Blood and Edna. Cross – Mrs. Northup and Gertrude. Crescent – Mr. and Mrs. Williston and family. Cut flowers – Mr. and Mrs. Legere. Harp . broken cord – Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Francis. Wreath – George L. Nelson and T.F. Francis, G. Brister, Roy Outhill, E. Pace, R. Brown and Donald Smith. Sheaf of Wheat – George Brister. Cross – Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Kelly. Anchor – “Kidge”. Wreath – Mr. and Mrs. McKavanath. Wreath – Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Mosher. Anchor – “Natchy’s comrades. Sheath of Wheat – Mr. and Mrs. Abe Moody. Crescent – Mr. and Mrs. Frizzell. Memorial Cards – F. LeBlanc, J. V. Martin, O’Sullivan, J.P. Quinn, B. Martin, Miss Annie Delaney, W.F. O’Connor, Miss E. and J. Kelly, Mrs. E. Veale, Mrs. James Heenan, Mr. and Mrs. Tyrn and J. Mahar. Among those who came from outside the city to attend the funeral, were a daughter and a nephew of William Della Torre, from Boston. They arrived to-day. - Wednesday, February 20, 1907...The Evening Mail, Halifax, N.S. News Of The City In addition to the flowers enumerated in the Mail of yesterday, as having been received upon the occasion of the funeral of Arthur Della Torre, the following were also received: Basket of flowers – Cousin Charlie. Broken column – J. Mahar and family. Basket of flowers – J. Grey. Anchor – Yacht – comrades, Jack Garret, W. Meredith, and W. Forbes. Memorial cards – Bertha, Flo, Mrs. P.A. Rooney, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Fagan and L. F. Hamm.

Deborah ~ There is quite a lot of Peleg Holmes family information available at the Yarmouth County Museum. They are always happy to do searches - for a price, of course, but the easiest way to find out more about that is to contact their archives directly through the web site: http://yarmouthcountymuseum.ednet.ns.ca/archives.htm There is also a place in the village of Arcadia ( a bit northeast of Yarmouth) called "Holmes Hill" where the home of Peleg Holmes, Jr. still stands.

I'm interested in the following family's connection(s) to Nova Scotia. Two Robertson children who died in California indicated their mother's maiden name was FORSHNER. I've constructed a probable family for them as follows: John W. ROBERTSON born January 1842, carriage maker, married Drusilla/Drusa D. FORSHNER, born June 1847, about 1870, place unknown. Census and Massachusetts birth records say they were born in Nova Scotia. They were in Massachusetts for the birth of their first two children, but moved to California by 1877. John died between 1900 and 1910. Drusa was still living in California in 1920. Children were 1. Annie Maude (26 February 1872 - 20 December 1949) born Boston, MA; died San Francisco County, CA; married John S. PURDIE about 1899. John was born in Iowa about August 1873. They had daughters Marian (c1901- ) and Gertrude (c 1906 - ) 2. Almon Sylvester (30 April 1874 - 7 November 1947) born Boston, MA; died Alameda County, CA; married Alice L. between 1910 and 1920. 3. Alice W. (1880) or Helen W. (1900), born April 1877 in California 4. Fred A. (26 November 1879 - 19 December 1961), born California, died Alameda County, CA; married Matilda between 1910 and 1920 None of them are listed in Valley of the Remsheg (Cumberland County).

Thank you all for your very helpful responses. I also received information on where to get the Fairview records. What I am absolutely thrilled about is the response I got from Wallace. You have the Reid picture I was looking for in the link you sent me. Now I know it exists. ":) Dean.....Beatrice Pearl Reid was my fathers' (Godfrey Albert Reids') first wife. My Mother said she had big shoes to fill because Beatrice was so good to him. The only reason my father remarried was to have children. He and Beatrice were childless. I am one of seven and she said he didn't want quite that many. *LOL Thanks, thanks and more thanks list! Victoria Reid

Hello List, I went to Halifax yesterday to look for more Family Headstones and others, to take pictures of to add to my genealogy. It was the first time I was at the Camphill Cemetery. I don't know how the residents are at peace in there! Joggers, teenagers passing time, and city traffic on three sides and a highrise on the fouthside. There isn't even any parking to get out of your car and walk around. The deceased are packed in there like sardines. How sad, it should have been closed in the 60s, in my opinion. After driving the "path" for about 45 min. I left without seeing one family name let alone any Reid name. It has maps posted but you need to know where you want to go in the first place. I didn't. Where do you get the information you need to find a resting place in any cemetery? Victoria Reid living in Truro, NS
